Hi friends.
It feels appropriate to mark this day. Tomorrow I start a 21 day cleanse in which I say good-bye to dairy, gluten, coffee and refined sugar (already vegetarian). If I fail miserably on the first day I can say it was April fools to me. I've wanted to do this for a while, and it was Kris Carr's Crazy Sexy Diet that made me finally feel informed enough to take the challenge on.
Instead of yummy chocolate covered peanut butter candy - I have nutritional yeast.
My coffee mug will runneth over with green smoothie.
I'll post how the days are going here for "Fun". There will be some ugliness, but some good stuff, too (fingers crossed).
Wish me luck? I mean: Wish me luck!

Running more than a business
Like so many people, running a marathon has been at the top of my list for a long time. Probably since discovering marathons exist and not for the crazy few. Millions of people run marathons every year. This distance between wanting to join these people and pounding the pavement to build up the endurance to make this happen is a work-in-progress. This year, I decided to step it up a notch.
A few years ago I couldn't run a mile without stopping. Running is a humbling activity when you think you're in shape and can't get through a mile without stopping and heaving. After years of off again on again attempts at trying to improve, I'm up to 4.65 miles without stopping. That's 21.55 miles to tack onto my endurance.
The beauty of running is that it pushes the body past the point of physical exhaustion. The more tired I get, the more energy I have. Maybe it's the endorphins or just the time away from the computer and other distraction. When I run, ideas come from every direction and they stay with me.
Wake Up Lady is growing at its core. We have new designs, new items and a humble business plan for the year ahead. Perhaps the process of making a business plan will prove more useful than the plan itself. It forced us to really think this through as a business.

A little inspiration
Reading through old research during a little new year clean-up, and stumbled across a few quotes. Sadly, past-me didn't bother to credit the quotes, but I wanted to share them.
"surrealism reintrduced the marvelous into everyday possibilities."
"the excitement of the marvelous in surrealism was only heightened by the constant presence of its own dark side."
